Kills 99% of germs, How about that last 1%?

If something so powerful can kill 99% of germs as most products claim, what about that last 1 percent? I mean, give me a break!
If I were to actually get a microscope to a slide from my mouth after swishing it out with lots of mouth wash and then came up with more than 1 percent germs, what would that prove?
This is another conspiracy theory. The idea that most disinfectants claim to kill 99% of germs then there has to be that 1 percent left over that just can't be killed, right? or is it because nobody can prove it one way or the other? I think that is likely the case.

I get that Anthony because there must be millions of germs in that last one percent.

That is not always the case. They can't actually say it kills them all because if they had to prove it it would be impossible to prove.

Your point is well taken and one of the reasons science is having to come up with stronger and stronger anti-bacterials because only the strongest 1% are surviving to undergo mitosis and make more. 1 surviving bacteria out of 100 can turn into nearly 17 million bacteria in just 24 hours. And those 17 million will be as resistant to the anti-bacterial that couldn't kill the mother cell as the mother cell was.

antibiotic strains of certain forms of viruses are becoming super bugs. One such super bug is a variant of the influenza virus. Doctors no longer treat influenza with the most common antibiotic known to most in recent memory as Penicillin.If you develop a bacterial secondary infection in the lungs and it leads to a form of pneumonia either viral or bacterial, they then prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic like Minocycline or Doxicycline, but by the time the secondary infection, pneumonia develops from the previous flu virus it becomes almost life threatening. With older people, in their 60's or more, there are a number or deaths from complications of pneumonia, spawned from the previous influenza virus of which there are a few variant forms of which the basic flu vaccines are developed for on a yearly basis most of us who get the flu shot in Fall of every year, and sometimes with the influenza shot, not every form of flu is covered. The most common types of old flu are becoming stronger to a point there is no longer a maximum percentage of success in the effectiveness of the vaccines.

@DWDavis , Even more effective in transmitting to humans from birds as some viruses are air borne. SARS is one I think.

So it kills only the weak germs and leaves the worst one alive?

How clean can my hands be when I go back outside and start digging in my flower beds? I need LAVA soap or GoJo or Fast Orange. On the other hand my wife likes using Dove soap best. We all have our preferences. But as far as I can tell, the moment I go outside and touch the handle of the library door, all bets are off!

You don't expect the 1% of germs to be killed that are actually BAD, do you?
